why does bing open as my search engine when i open a new firefox window

cpbsavage

Whenever I open a new firefox window it opens to bing as my search engine even though I have bing unselected and removed from my search engines and google as my default browser for my account, I do not like using bing so if this can be fixed I would really appreciate it. When i open firefix for the first time after closing all windows it opens to my last tabs and stays as google but as soon as I open a second window its suddenly bing, I have triple checked my browser settings to make sure that google is still my default and that bing is removed.

It changes the search provider in the toolbar, or just opens a bing website as the default page content? (i.e. make sure in How to set the home page it's not set somewhere as Homepage › New windows and the like…)
